a trend and this is precisely why the united states is able to continue to support saakashvili in the same way that they've supported brutal dictators all over the world for the last few decades. political analyst eric draitser that talking to us from new york. france is rushing to ensure the safety of its diplomatic missions abroad after a french satirical magazine published cartoons of the naked prophet mohamed paris has shot embassies and schools in some countries to minimize risk but the prime minister has defended a media freedom. studies have. this is definitely a sensitive issue in the world right now as protests against the u.s. made field. it's especially sensitive for fronts which houses western europe's largest muslim population around five million people we've heard both wards of criticism and just a fixation for the katun from top french officials the foreign minister expressed

concern for the safety of french citizens across the world saying that could two may add fuel to the flames security has been boosted in the country's missions across the islamic world with embassies and schools closed for several days the prime minister however sad the freedom of expression including said tire is guaranteed by law in a democratic society and those who take issue with the katun should go to court and this is exactly what happened in the case of the duchess of cambridge who was topless photos were printed in the french media the british royal family has taken the matter to court and the reprinting of the pictures was banned and friends but many see corsi here because definitely it's much easier for the member of the royal family to defend. privacy in the courts than for not removed live for example living outside the front of the double standards the. prince of.

a rush to make profits as this issue of the magazine sold out and they are planning another printer. meanwhile there are over us made a film mocking islam has not died down as protesters and protests rage across pakistan a group of several hundred lawyers broke into a protected district housing foreign diplomats and missions in the capital but police and security guards prevent as the demonstrators from reaching the american embassy cozzens also took to the streets of lebanon in crowd it's called by the sheer movement has been some say to people have been killed across the muslim world in clashes over the phone in the past week including the last some boss of the to leave and professor of middle eastern history lawrence davidson believes it's not just that these here that's feuding with washington. about the. much broader and much all the. anger in the middle

and of course there's always more now website for you home in the here's a little of what you can find there right now learning research rats fed a diet of genetically modified corn produced by u.s. chemical giant monsanto suffer tumors and other kinds of symptoms. and also on line of got more details and reaction to the discovery of a fourth century but paris which challenges one of the cornerstones of christian religion that jesus was celibate so the full story at. syrian state t.v. is reporting that a military helicopter has crashed in the city of diva near the capital the opposition says it was downed by its finances meanwhile having fighting between government and rebel forces rages all of the country the u.n. chief says a military solution is not the way out of the conflict they say see when rebels have seized another border crossing with turkey which could open

a new on supply route the u.k.'s foreign secretary william hague also said it's possible but i will send weapons to opposition fighters meanwhile israel has staged a surprise live via wargames at the border with syria although say those were retained drills israel's concerns that some of syria's chemical weapons could be relocated to lebanon based has blocked and kept a pro reform activist says some states are looking to benefit from serious crisis. every single state has saw in the syrian conflict a sort of opportunity to go in and try to influence the outcome so that it would be to their fair advantage and and we all know that that certain countries in the u.n. have certain economical problems and they would want probably in a favorable government in damascus and seal off the middle east as an economic regime in probably what they see as a lot of rivalry that is heating up with the brics countries for example but actually all this has led only to the destruction bloodshed and so on and so forth

had president assad been less popular he would have been ousted long time ago. more interesting stories coming your way after a very short break stay with us. world . series technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've. covered. the sun rises over what seems like analyst forest here in new directions cry for hundred kilometers north of london while stalking as in much of the world it's disappearing at a catastrophic rate. for. bloggers both illegal and those finding ways to outsmart the system filing down the

forests of the region for them profit goes well beyond the future of our planet and the result could be an ecological crisis the world wildlife fund for nature makes regular trips to help local rangers do what little they can to stop the logging but it's not easy lager set up traps making them hard to reach in an already rough terrain and have mastered ways to jump through legal loopholes this is a nature reserve were only sanitary logging of disease trees is allowed according to law and not a single berry can be picked but loggers like this use their sanitary logging permit to cut down absolutely healthy trees and sell the profitable timber over the border in china we are on the hunt for illegal loggers and it's not going to be easy to forests. and their chances are slim now for now we can stay in our dreams but as soon as we find quality tracks we'll have to drop our wheels and get out silently in order not to scare the loggers off alexander some morning call has been

a ranger for over twenty five years he can spend weeks at a time tracking a single group of loggers easier to work when snow falls in autumn it's impossible to find. human tracks and even transport tracks are hard to see after hours of driving we get sent in the right direction by word of mouth you can see that the ground is soft here which means that the twelve the tractor trails are very fresh which in fact means that we need to be quiet in order to not scare them off as we get closer. this team says they're illegal but have no documents now xander can now call the police to take over his work here is done he is overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the promoter ski region and the w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it i guess the government now started shooting for more of forest legislation source in the polls

and so on we've got the new forest court and according to. the guys involved in the in the forest through the still the forest courts deal doesn't work just you. know with no one tries to stop them in just five years the force will be gone they'll sell it all to china what will the people who live afterwards do but it's a question more and more people are aware of today climate change in the safety of our environment as a whole are being discussed around the world and perhaps it's those small steps that might be a start to people living in harmony with nature. welcome back you're watching see in bahrain hundreds of sheer acts of us have taken to the streets to demand equal rights by the sunni militant as well as they release of political prisoners the government has been violently clamping down on protesters

for more than a for the past eighteen months with accusations of brutality by the regime however they came to has pledged to improve on its treatment of political activists and try to prevent violence against ethnic and religious communities. that's not a criticism and recommendations from the u.n. why it's body but there's also these lower smith reports western leaders have effectively close their eyes to what's happening in the country but other concerns in the region. also find a life. of this conflict only oppression and brutality of the regime one. takes there will be a day of reckoning for this dreadful regime up in arms about syria and they put their money where their mouth is giving five million pounds in so-called non-lethal aid to those trying to oust president assad but less than a thousand miles away in bahrain there's another human rights crisis ongoing and

all that leaders remain conspicuously silent their g.m. has not spared any means of repression torture has not seized at all and in the close to one is of people who were just released in the last day or two. years have not stopped. of course the use of sectarianism. is there. more than that is the kidnapping we would not if you people from each village say three or four beat them up torture them not inside the torture chambers but in farms in what they call the old houses bahrain is home to a forgotten revolution ignored by the international community under reported in the media since proper every last year there have been almost daily anti-government protests in the resulting crackdown around

a hundred have been killed with sixteen hundred in jail including sixty children and full of bahrain's most prominent human rights activists all that in a country of only one and a half million but the u.k. government says not. think it's a longstanding historical connection between britain and bahrain which was in fact holland in seventy one certainly the association with the u.s. fifth fleet is the oil problem and that's the banking problem in the long term this is harmful to our interests because sooner or later all the gulf markets are going to disappear in a puff of smoke and then the regimes that succeed them will not be friendly country which was their oppressors far from being condemned representatives of the bahraini regime has been a common sight at the u.k.'s major events this summer king how much was invited to the queen's diamond jubilee celebrations in may his eldest son visited david

cameron at downing street and his youngest son who allegedly sanctioned the torture of dissident bahraini athletes was at the opening of london's olympic games but it goes further and deeper than that despite the brutal crackdown between july and september last year the u.k. sold two point two million pounds worth of arms to the bahraini regime shortly after that the u.k.'s most famous military training school accepted a three million pound donation from the king of bahrain and to the metropolitan police is former assistant commissioner was appointed as an advisor on security to the regime with no objections from the u.k. government bahrain campaigners say it's ruining the government's credibility it's only when they stand up in public and say we host this torture we oppose these autocratic regimes and we democratize only then will the british

government have any credibility whatsoever and at this moment. has. the bahraini opposition and their supporters on calling for him to. but they do want the international community to condemn the regime they say is at least as oppressive as the syrian regime that western power was assumed desperate to get rid of numerous myth. in days in the group of a nationwide strike with businesses shut down trains disrupted protesters in the streets all this in response to a government run to a global supermarket trains to earn to india's retail sector his prius. well right now actually millions of shopkeepers here in new delhi and in cities across india have decided to close down their stores against a government plan that would allow foreign multi brand retail grocery stores like

wal-mart and tasks go into this country right now foreign retail stores are allowed to sell to small shopkeepers but not directly to consumers so this would have a wide spread of fact on indian shopkeepers some i've spoken to many who say that these stores have been in their families for generations and that if stores like wal-mart and tesco were to come in it would completely ruin india's supply chain and change the shopping culture in this country still millions of people are protesting the opposition party of the b j p is actually even asked the prime minister of india to step down over these players there's been a lot of corruption scandals going on with the congress party of the leading party ruling the government here in india right now and they're trying to do everything they can to turn that around before the elections of twenty fourteen but the

average consumer on the street says most of these stores that people buy food by their by by what they need are small shops there are. really many big stories here in india so that would actually change the supply chain dramatically and really. the middlemen the people who are bringing this stuff from the farmers to the shopkeepers and millions of jobs would be lost if this policy is actually implemented. seven minutes since have reportedly been killed in a special operation in the russian republic of korea in the north caucuses the militants were hiding in a residential building in the compass when told to surrender they opened fire security forces among those killed is a notorious militant leader who was wanted for numerous tunks and police and other

simple mathematical rules that we've also got more markets to look out with check out the russian markets because they are taking a bit of a battering and that is on the fact that oil prices are declining also the general sentiment in the international markets today russia is not faring too well as we get into the russian ruble will be able to see is still trading lower in the session against the basket of currencies we while the euro is down that's after downbeat eurozone purchasing managers index came out and that kind of a had a ricochet effect investors want to impress with abbott or if we get the european exit markets then we'll be able to see we've got declines on our hands and that's for a time in a four days after a pause signal that china's manufacturing industry could travel eleven miles is a bit of a general gloomy phillips days session that you are but fifty five minutes i could potentially have some good news is good stuff katie will see that ok in

a few minutes it's a back to basics report in which aussie explores consumerism in the russian capital . so. it's perched atop a judge and the view from the kremlin stretches as far as the eye can see up for a city to siberia for centuries. it lost its economic importance even before it was bypassed by the chance i bear in railway but the a spiritual center. things

like these are a yearly occurrence thousands of orthodox worshippers implicity water to commemorate the baptism of jesus. it doesn't matter if it's minus thirty it's a siberian tradition i do it myself every year for everyone to overcome their worst fears it is desirable to take a plunge. but this picture postcard church is the story of a city built by opportunist explorers political exiles and crafty fur traders in the fifteen eighties the russians had only just conquered siberia taking it from the muslim. surrounded by enemies to be their stronghold constructed on top of the city but soon enough it became an economic hub siberian oil of its time

bringing in a third of all russia's state revenue. location head of the says for the russians the. tabasco is one of the most popular places to send political dissent is not any people were exiled that once a giant bell that was used to incite riots was supposed to set a three hundred ten. the russian heiress across who led a revolt against the czar and eight hundred twenty five known as the decembrists worse than heroin drove. there they created a replica high society adopting the latest fashions as soon as they came out or at least once they made it from paris to siberia. but the city also served up some bitter irony for the russian royal family after the bolshevik revolution. this is the office where nicholas the second spend most of the last year of his life his whole family had been exiled here they were fairly comfortable existence this was a big house but they weren't allowed to see visitors or go outside themselves

leading this ordinary normal countryside lifestyle they even had thoughts of escape but within the year bizarre and his family would be dead. never again its political significance but the streets will always go with a glorious past and will likely provide the livelihood for some habitants in the future. is one of the millions of young hopefuls who came to moscow in search of success wealth and fame at the age of twenty six he was already in charge of the p.r. division of a major corporation. drinking coffee on one of the top floors and looking down at the city sprawling below. it was an exhilarating experience. because
